Some of these are evidently new to science and one of them belongs to none of the genera included by Dr. Horn in his "Synopsis of the Haltic

ABSTRACT

An annotated list, including information on type species, distribution, and number of species, is provided for all of the non-flea-beetle galerucine genera known to occur in the New World (tribes Galerucini, Metacyclini, and Luperini). A diagnostic key to the genera is provided. Habitus illustrations are provided for most genera.
